The Alpha’s Forbidden Love

CHRIS

The crisp night air echoed with the sounds of preparation as Lucy and I huddled over a map, plotting our strategy against Cade’s impending attack. We discussed tactics, strengths, and weaknesses of both sides, aiming at fortifying my pack against the coming threat.

“Chris, do you think this plan is going to work? What if Cade plans ahead of us?” Lucy inquired, her eyes reflecting concern and a hint of doubt.

I glanced at Lucy, my expression stern but reassuring. “It’s possible, but not to worry, I’ll take care of it. We have to be prepared for anything. Our pack’s safety is our priority,” I affirmed, my voice filled with determination.

Lucy chuckled. “Our pack? That’s new.”

“Of course, it’s our pack. Very soon, you’ll be crowned my Luna once all of this is over,” I said.All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

“What if they reject me as their Luna? Remember that my father is still to be blamed for your father’s death,” Lucy said, her voice edged with concern.

I shrugged. “Once Cade is exposed, your father’s name will be cleared. Trust the process, Lucy.”

I pulled her close to me, planting a kiss on her forehead. “No one can take you away from me, you’re mine.”

“Yes,” she whispered, the word escaping from her throat as a husky sob. “Yes, Lucy, if you’re sure that’s what you really want, then I’ll always be yours.”

I had no idea how long it was before she broke the embrace that followed my capitulation, or any detailed memory of what pleasures we exchanged, just a deep, languid feeling of bliss as our mouth met and parted and met again and our hands roamed at will, loving, discovering, exciting….

“Not yet, not now …..” it was Lucy who broke the lethargic, sensual magic enthralling me, speaking with an effort, her voice shaky, as she gently released herself from my arms. “We need to keep planning before the attack.”

While we were strategizing, we were interrupted by the arrival of a breathless messenger accompanied by Glen at my tree house.

“Greetings, Alpha Chris. I have an urgent message from Alpha Dylan. He requests your presence immediately,” the messenger announced, his countenance visibly tense with the weight of the message.

I exchanged a quick glance at Glen who had brought the messenger, signaling him to lead the way. “Lucy, I’ll be back soon. It seems something urgent has come up. Trust in our plans and be safe until I return,” I said, swiftly rising from my seat and preparing to depart, leaving Lucy in a bewildered state.

I hurried as fast as I could to Dylan’s pack and in no time, I arrived at Alpha Dylan’s territory. I was ushered into the alpha’s presence in his chambers, the air thick with tension and unease.

“Apologies for summoning you at such short notice. There is an urgent matter that needs to be addressed before it escalates,” Alpha Dylan began to speak, urgency evident in his voice.

I sat on the seat provided, my thoughts running wild at what the urgent matter could be. “What is the matter, Alpha?” I asked.

“First, I heard that you were attacked on your way back from the summit. Did you know who sent those rogues after you?” Alpha Dylan asked, his eyes searching mine.

“I have no idea, but I suspect that Cade…. I mean Uther could be involved in that attack. He….”

“Did you say Cade? You know who Cade is?” Alpha Dylan interrupted.

“Cade is the same person as Uther, my father’s treacherous brother,” I said, my anger boiling up at the thought of his name.

“Cade is a popular rogue leader, not everyone knows his true identity. He controls a large troop of rogues and is known for being a terror to many vulnerable packs,” Alpha Dylan explained.

His words took me by surprise. I never knew Cade the way Dylan had just explained him to me. A terror to different packs? Not only was he a murderer, but a tyrant who terrorized people for his selfish gain.

“Very soon, Cade will be launching an attack on my pack, this is not the first time he would attack my pack. But I have devised a plan to counter his attack,” I said, eager to seek guidance and support from the experienced alpha.

“If Cade is the same person as your uncle, then you need to be extremely careful. He will stop at nothing just to get what he wants,” Alpha Dylan said.

“He is coming for my father’s throne isn’t he?” I asked, my gaze fixed on him.

Dylan’s expression remained solemn as he nodded, acknowledging my words. “You’ll need reinforcements to safeguard your pack. I’ll lend you some of my guards to go with you,” he offered without hesitation, showing his support.

“I know that there’s more at stake than just this invasion. This is not just about the throne is it?” I hesitated sensing a deeper tension. “Is there something I need to know?”

“You’re right. This isn’t just about the throne. Uther and your father had always been at loggerheads with each other for as long as I could remember,” Dylan explained. “Uther was supposed to be crowned as the alpha but something happened.”

“What happened?” I asked, my heart pounding in my chest.

Before Dylan could respond, a sudden commotion broke outside his pack. The distant sound of a heated dispute broke our conversation. Dylan and I exchanged wary glances, realizing something was amiss.

An aggressive pack of unfamiliar wolves stormed into Dylan’s territory, their growls filling the night. Dylan’s guard quickly moved out to intercept the invaders, ready to defend their territory.

“What is the meaning of this? What is going on here?” I demanded, my voice laced with a mix of authority and concern for my ally’s safety.

Before any explanation could be made, the invaders began to launch an attack on the territory. Suddenly, a chilling howl echoed through the night, a signal from afar. The rogue wolves began to retreat, disappearing into the darkness, leaving an air of foreboding and unanswered questions in our wake.
